Dawn Beams Back New Images of Ceres’ Mysterious ‘Pyramid-Shaped’ Mountain-
“No one expected a mountain on Ceres, especially one like Ahuna Mons. We still do not have a satisfactory model to explain how it formed,” said Dawn science team member Dr. Chris Russell, from the University of California, Los Angeles.

I see two possibilities, based on the Mons being connected in some way to the crater.
The pair are very obviously parts of the same formation, to me.

A loop arc between two points of opposite polarity, excavates the material from the crater and deposits it to form the Mons.
We see these on the Sun. (The loops, not the craters and mountains they form - these are under the photosphere.)

Or (more likely), a positive and negative pair of currents touching down side by side. One evacuating material and one depositing material.

You are probably correct on both points.
There is experimental evidence to support your suggestions
On your third point, consider a facilitator, triggering interaction between two areas.

I'd go into more detail but the experiment which replicated the same results and my
suggest dynamics have been dismissed or shelved without explanation from t-bolts group.
To not add uncertainty to the discussion i cannot explain further
since clarity has not been provided in reciprocation to experiments.

Ice on Ceres (including the discovery of hopping water molecules.) (??)

Regardless of its origin, water molecules on Ceres have the ability to hop around from warmer regions to the poles. A tenuous water atmosphere has been suggested by previous research, including the Herschel Space Observatory's observations of water vapor at Ceres in 2012-13. Water molecules that leave the surface would fall back onto Ceres, and could land in cold traps. With every hop there is a chance the molecule is lost to space, but a fraction of them ends up in the cold traps, where they accumulate.

Sublimation has been suggested but researchers conceded it was not able 'to produce the amount of exosphere that we're seeing'. Given that the study suggested that, during a six-day period in 2015, Ceres had accelerated electrons from the solar wind to very high energies, is this not yet further evidence of the electrical nature of all bodies in the solar system?
